Hello, I was given the title of Champion of Redgate and now that you're leading it, should you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.
So I've been told. [by alyosha herself, in fact.] I'll keep that in mind.
[strange, in his opinion, to promise the same services to a stranger that one had to a close friend based only on a shared title. but he won't ignore a possible pawn.]

Good luck and thank you. I'll be up there later this month to do some training with the guard.
[ It's less to do with a shared title and more to do with Alyosha asking him to offer his service. ]

My establishment is open to you for all planning, if you require it.
Please contact me ASAP if only to acknowledge that you've gotten the message.

Noted.
[and at first that's all the answer he gives. but after a few minutes he adds to it, a lord's need of resources and information and backup winning out over his more childish irritation with everyone and everything since harry's message.]
Will there even be time for such planning? Your establishment is a good trip away even from any fairy rings, and we've no idea when Reynard will arrive.
[assuming that's what you're talking about, anyway.]

It would all be helped by knowing where Reynard is coming from, and what is rate of travel is.
It'd be an idea to at least try and get a semblance of a plan in place. I speak from experience in fighting him without any idea of what one is up against.
RE: location, true enough. I can haul my ass to Daonna if need be.

Planning is good, but without any more solid timeline, I'd rather err on the side of "immediately", and so going anywhere else to plan runs the risk of wasting time we don't have and stranding those looking to help far from where they're needed.
And Retgate is itself far enough from a fairy ring that getting help to it should be a more immediate priority. If there's to be any sort of gathering to plan, let it be there, where no matter how much of a strategy has been worked out, those involved will be on hand to defend the city rather than still days away in some other location.

Point made.
Where are you presently? It'll take me about four days to get to Daonna's ring.

Caer Scima. There was an issue to deal with. [vague, but somehow even the text delivers that air of "don't worry about it".] I have not even been to Redgate yet myself. But I'll go now.
I'll get myself moving come tomorrow. The dogs that've been running around seem to strike at night, and we've had an invasion of them this evening.
An acquaintance of mine who's here with me is a general. I ask your permission to invite him along into this.

[ah, right. the dogs. those could be a nuisance in making good time. but then, he might be able to call in a favor, avoid all that entirely and get there quickly.]
Please do. Any possible help in protecting the city from the Fox, I want. He won't so much as approach Redgate if I have any say in the matter.

Let's hope your word carries as law.
I will see you soon.

Master Saralegui? Your pardon for taking so long to contact you again. I do not know what news you already heard, but here in Redgate they spoke of holding the Fox. Not but recently the stories have changed again, that he was escaped, that he had troubled Shardholders, that he was threatening revenge... Master Waver and Master Kaldur have spoken a little of the troubles that Reynard brought in his wake - I do not know where you are, nor how you fare - but I hope you will be well.

If you can give me an update on the situation, please do so. I realize that Redgate is not kind to locket communication, but I would like to know if there should be a general advisory in place to ensure people are not heading into a trap set by Reynard.
In the event that I don't have a response by nightfall, please forgive me if I ask everyone en route to help to delay their travels, until we have more information. I am terrified of what might happen if everyone goes in unarmed.

Saralegui. I require confirmation that you are well and your present location. Immediately.
[it's a good deal later when he finally gets around to answering, visibly exhausted and hair still a bit wavy from air-dried salt water, but at least he answers.]
I'm alright, Saber. Everyone's okay, more or less.

I'm aware of all that. I was one of the shardholders he'd "troubled".
[that's probably putting a bit mildly, if his delay in answering this and general air of exhaustion are any indication.]
But I'm fine, thank you.

[GUESS WHO HAS A SEA BACKGROUND AND SCARY-ASS BLACK ARMOR ON?]
I am enroute.
[Though there's no... boat evident anywhere.]

Water poses no obstacle to me.

[night's already fallen by the time he gets around to this, but it's only prudent to answer regardless. he needs some line of communication with the mainland and redgate right now too, and waver's probably the best option for that.]
Forgive me for the delay. Things have been a bit...hectic.
[this is the worst you'll ever see his hair looking. treasure this moment.]
Have you already halted those that were still on their way to Redgate? I can't be certain right now if there's any danger ahead of them...

I've put out a network message to get everyone to stop over at Daonna rather than charge ahead, yes.
...I can see that.
[but at least it drags a little smirk out of him. who's he to question the impossible stuff some people here can do? it helps him, and that's all that matters right now.]
You missed all the excitement, though. The sea monster is very much dead now, and none of us drowned.

[ Clear relief in the voice on the other end ]
Ah, that is good - I worried that my tardiness might have caused you harm. As it is, I fear I must apologise for not being able to discover the information you needed sooner. Have you taken much harm?

I apologize that I was not present to slay the sea monster quickly.
[She starts running across the water, though the lack of focal background points makes it hard to tell exactly how fast she is going other than the way her hair whips about her face, her eyes not on the locket.]
Tell me what happened at Redgate.
